If I Joined The Firm

	You're the obvious person, Peter. Nobody knows as much about the business as you do. And nobody could do the job as well as you.
		It's nice of you to say so, Diana but the idea is crazy. Sam's my oldest friend, it's true. But I couldn't possibly work for him.
	Why on earth not ?
		I'd go mad... You know what Sam's like ! As long as I'm his accountant I can boss him about. But if I joined the firm, Sam would be the boss I don't think I'd like that.
	No, seriously, Peter.. He's an excellent employer and he would give you a very good deal.
		I know he would, Diana. But I like being my own boss. I've got a pretty successful accountacy practice here in Oxford and I don't want to give it up.
